You and me both.
I had just arrived in Afghan on my first trip when this concurrently happened.
I’m no Afghan expert by a long shot, but that Autumn/Winter of 2012 seemed to be a bit of a lull in the crazy of Kabul, with things ratcheting up in 2013/2014 onwards.
Not so much safe, but possible to go out in town to some areas/locations for brief periods without taking crazy risks, until they started getting hit later.
I recall open source reporting of her already heavily pregnant, beginning of 3rd trimester I think? ‘Pinched” on their way to/thru Wardak?
Not only is flying riskier for heavily pregnant women, but as many here know outside of ISAF Medical Support there is extremely limited competent medical care available.
And that’s how they arrived into multi-decade warzone.
A good friend of mine(who’s the most culturally proficient person I know for the area) and I both thought she’d be dead in childbirth, if not already murdered.
To see she’s had 3 children in “captivity”, leaves me wondering if she was ever truly captive.
This just smells funny 7 ways to Sunday.
With the male’s previous associations with some of Canada’s worst imported irregular/political warfare actors, how can this be anything other than accepting risk of infection by a human virus?
